双语·《伊索寓言》 老妇人和酒坛

THE OLD WOMAN AND THE WINE-JAR

An old Woman picked up an empty Wine-jar which had once contained a rare and costly wine, and which still retained some traces of its exquisite bouquet. She raised it to her nose and sniffed at it again and again. “Ah,” she cried, “how delicious must have been the liquid which has left behind so ravishing a smell.”

老妇人和酒坛

有一个老妇人捡到了一个空酒坛，这酒坛曾经装过一种很稀有很值钱的酒，现在里面还保留着独特的酒香。老妇人把酒坛举到鼻子边，闻了一遍又一遍。“哎呀，能留下这么美好的味道的液体，该是多么美味啊！”
